The bandstand in Camelford has been lit up blue to show support for the NHS and other care workers.

A resident of the town contacted a Camelford town councillor to ask if it would be possible to turn the lights blue, as it had been previously turned red for Remembrance Day.

Cllr Ayla Ackroyd-Johnson emailed the town clerk to check if this was possible.

On April 14 the lights were turned blue. Cllr Ackroyd-Johnson said: “I cannot take all the credit for this as someone did give me the idea. Our landlady of The Masons Arms took a photo of it... it’s simply beautiful.”

The lights will now be lit blue for the foreseeable future.
